Sen. DiDomenico fights for Early Education alongside advocates at State House Rally

BOSTON – Last week Senator Sal DiDomenico joined his colleagues, as well as early education and care advocates, for a State House rally in support of the Common Start bill. “From my first day in the Senate I have been pushing for expanded access to early education and increasing staff salaries to ensure the educators can earn a good living,” said Senator DiDomenico. “This critical legislation will ensure every child and family in Massachusetts can access affordable, high-quality, early education and childcare and deliver significantly better pay and benefits for early educators. We must pass this bill and keep our state a livable and welcoming home for families of all incomes.”

The Common Start bills in the Senate and the House are S.301 and H.489, respectively – An Act providing affordable and accessible high-quality early education and care to promote child development and well-being and support the economy in the Commonwealth. On February 16, 2023, the Massachusetts Legislature referred the Act to its Joint Committee on Education.
